Yes the same email they would have gotten from the Indian Civil Aviation had you been an Indian pilot and had purchased your licence and ratings in that country, like many Indians did. Checking the licence in your pocket or checking an email from your home Civil Aviation is just checking paper... like that low Gross Weight L-1011 from Africa that had High-Gross Weight papers issued by its home country. On paper it was legal.
